Episode 56 - James Joyce: Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! by DEVO
From James Joyce (Three on the Ones and Twos Cohost): DEVO is one of my favorite bands of all time – in fact, I don’t even consider them a “band” but really an artistic movement, philosophy and way of life. These five weirdos from Ohio created a place for themselves as true artists, making music, videos, graphic design that has lasted an entire lifetime, all of this both inside and outside mainstream culture and business worlds, with a great sense of humor, absurdity and fun. They are truly subversive in so many ways and massively influential - everyone has a picture of DEVO in their mind, but when you really pay attention to what they are truly saying and doing, you see how deep and profound the message becomes. And their message of De-Evolution only gets more and more relevant as time goes on – no other band has prepared us for modern times more than DEVO. De-Evolution is Real - Duty Now for the Future!
From Cassy (Three on the Ones and Twos Cohost): This one is really special. Devo is one of those bands that a ton of music we love wouldn't be the same without. There's no denying their legacy is imperative to the formation of new wave, electronic and even performance art as we know those things to be today. In Episode 56, Me, Tom and James (aka 1499) sit down with good friend, musician and Three on the Ones and Twos team member, Brian Kincheloe, to discuss the first release from this iconic band, the incredible Q: Are We Not Me? A: We Are Devo! The Mothersbaugh brothers, Casale brothers along with Alan Myers on drums had such a unique perspective right out of the gate - backed up with the talent needed to execute it - that the likes of legends Iggy Pop, Robert Fripp, David Bowie and Brian Eno (who won out in the end) vied for the opportunity to produce their debut record. That's crazy impressive! The end result is this phenomenal masterpiece which we enjoyed discussing immensely. Watch until the end for the Cameo video from Jerry Casale that Sue got James a year and a half ago for Christmas along with a short clip of Devo's fantastic performance from last year's Cruel World festival. And in the famous words of the man himself, de-evolution is real! Cheers!
